Paul Rudd Crashes Conan's Bill Hader Interview

[Alyce: Old Media Enthusiast]

With a very important clip to show.

[eJm]

I like to think 99% of Mac & Me’s royalties have come from Paul Rudd paying for that clip to air for 25 years.

[Cyno]

One last Mac&Me for the road.

I’m making a point to watch this final week of shows. I have been on a Conan kick the past few weeks. Going back and watching a lot of his TBS stuff. Admittedly, when  he moved  to TBS, I lost track of Conan. And that’s my loss. Stuff like Clueless Gamer or his interactions with Jordan Schlansky is pure gold. Conan is at his best when he can be off-the-cuff and allowed to show his extraordinary wit. And I've been having a blast reacquainting myself with the things that made me a fan in the first place.

I haven't watched a lot of Conan on TBS but from what I seen, I appreciate the fact he's tried different formats and roles as time has gone on to not so much keep himself relevant as try new things since, well, his career's been all about trying new things regardless if they work or not.

I hope the move to HBO Max is basically the thing he needs to try some cool stuff that he wouldn't be able to do on network or cable TV.

I think his backstage office bits with his staff since coming to TBS is fantastic. Of course, final weeks are often great. His last week on NBC was must see. Craig Ferguson's send-off week was loads of fun (though I loved his show in general). I expect this week to be worth watching and I would do so if I still had cable service.

I want Paul to do a remake of Mac and Me.

If you're wondering about said montage...

He has an excellent podcast, Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend

I only listen to the episodes that interest me, but it's an easy hour. I'd recommend it

Leave the memories alone!

I’m a fan of the podcast. Sometimes I skip the celebrity interview and just listen to Conan? Sona, and Matt shoot the breeze.

Found the other scene Rudd mentioned:

[mcmahonfan85]

screw that, this is bigger. Jordan Schlanksy, yes the Jordan Schlanksy, finally tells Conan what his damn job is:

That’s actually the first time I saw that part with Jordan coming late and that’s goddamn magical TV right there. I laughed so much.

That, the espresso machine and the staff performance review are prime Jordan Schlansky-filled gold.

Might as well make it a general "Conan's last week" thread with the final episode tonight.

Poor Nick Offerman is distressed about the whole thing.

In honor of tonight, here's when I went for a ride behind Conan's desk at the NBC Experience Store in November 99.
